Supposed promotions for the Google Pixel 9a have leaked, although there is a notable absence.
Free trials of YouTube Premium, Fitbit Premium, and other services.
It is anticipated that the Google Pixel 9a will be unveiled in the near future, with rumors suggesting that pre-orders will begin on March 19. New reports have revealed the promotions that will accompany the purchase of this device. According to consulted sources, buyers will receive a six-month subscription to Fitbit Premium, three months to YouTube Premium, and three months of Google One at the 100GB level.
It is unclear whether these offers will be available only to those who pre-order or if they will also be offered to all buyers. However, it is likely that the latter option is correct, given that the Pixel 8a also included the same benefits for all users until January 2026.
Compared to more premium models like the Google Pixel 9 Pro, the additional content that Pixel 9a owners will receive is less appealing. For example, instead of the three months of Google One, the Pro models offer a 12-month subscription to Google One AI Premium, including access to the Gemini Advanced AI model, which is considered a key tool due to its durability and utility.
Since the Pixel 9a is expected to have a starting price of around $499 (or £499 / AU$849), it would not be reasonable to expect benefits as high as those found in the more expensive models. However, tech enthusiasts are aware of Google's focus on integrating artificial intelligence tools into their devices, so the inclusion of Gemini Advanced would be seen as a significant addition.
Of course, the option to purchase a separate subscription to Gemini Advanced will remain available, with a cost of approximately $19.99 / £18.99 / AU$32.99 per month, which may lead consumers to consider opting for a more expensive Pixel model that already includes it.
Although the provided information may be subject to change, it is expected that official confirmation of what will be included with the Pixel 9a will come soon, as its launch is anticipated for mid-March.
